Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3429103A1] A wavelength dependency of insertion loss characteristics of a wavelength selective switch is corrected during an operation of the wavelength selective switch. A multiplexer (13) inserts a dummy signal light generated by a light source (12) into a main signal and outputs the obtained signal to a wavelength selective switch (11). A light intensity monitor (14) acquires the intensity of the light of each wavelength of a light output from the wavelength selective switch (11). A light source controller (18) controls the insertion of the dummy signal light into the main signal, and release of the insertion. A difference calculator (15) calculates the difference between a first light intensity that the light intensity monitor (14) has acquired in a state in which the dummy signal light is inserted into the main signal and a second light intensity that the light intensity monitor (14) has acquired in a state in which the dummy signal light is not inserted into the main signal. An insertion loss calculator (16) calculates an insertion loss in the wavelength selective switch (11) based on the result of the calculation in the difference calculator (15). An insertion loss controller (17) controls the insertion loss in the wavelength selective switch (11) based on the calculated insertion loss.
